I was required to write a programming using dos to generate. I now do know how to start to write the client programming. My supervisor have told me that need to do initialize and client, then also initialize and server. But I do not know how to start, can help me... Frown | :(

You had to write a console program ? One without a window ?

I'm sorry, I understand that English is not your first language, and there's nothing wrong with that. But I honestly have no idea what you're asking, could you try to word it differently, so perhaps it will be easier for people to help you ?

While English is highly popular in that country, isn't there a chance he speaks Mandarin, Malay, or Tamil instead as his native tongue? Just asking...

Yes, everyone has their own native language and probably speaks the most with. English here is taught at a very young age so i would think one should be able to write comprehensible sentences even though there may be grammatical errors. Just my opinion. Smile | :)

I Believe your Supervisor Want you make a Client Server Based Application!, I Think these links will be right starting point for you :-

Thats the general practice, I can see two reason behind it Either they simply try to Save there Neck or else they want to make them (Read Junior) self dependent!

Self dependant is a long way from knowing how to do things right. IMO the reason is that they know people who have the skills will answer the questions online for free !!

Yeah, I think next year I'll plan to go a month early, if Maiden do Ozzfest again. Now that Ozzy won't do it, I reckon they'll need Maiden AND Priest to make it worthwhile.

It's not that unusual really. I think that's the mother of invention.

If you worked for me and I paid you $37 an hour to work for me regardless of what you did and I said Christian, "See if you can write a program that will all a MAC user to execute Win32 code in a runtime simulated enironment on MAC's."

You would probably say, "WTF! I've got more questions." You'd get a few more answers but since your pay is the same regardless you'd probably go out and dig away right? I know I would. Give me a job to do something I've never done before you and just got my complete attention. I hate doing things I know how to do it's boring.

Having said all of this I'm probably a bit farther along than the person in this post but hey... I was more making a remark to your question and I think I at least am glad that supervisors do this. It's probably how I got a 3.4 gig hyperthreading processor on my desktop that runs cool enough to not burn down my house or fry eggs in 11 minutes.

Sure - but that's a long way from giving people with obviously very little experience in general that sort of opportunity. There's some basic coding skill that needs to be taught, or at least learned.

I'm glad that it happens at my level of experience. But when people ask questions on a more basic level, it worries me.

You are completely right of course. I was being a lot more general. When you narrow the scope like that you are exactly right in that context.

The major flaw in all my arguments is that known genius's tend to be the inventors and everyone else just winds up with a head ache and a pay-cut. Or they got smart and learned to use Google and communities.

View / Childframe activation

Paul Belikian15-Aug-05 14:05

15-Aug-05 14:05

Hi, is there a function or message that is sent to a Childframe or view when it becomes active? In other words, I have a few MDI documents open and would like to be notified when the user selects one (it becomes the view that gets focus), or if one of the child's views becomes the active one. I need to know when the user selects between these views when they are selected, but not simply which one is the active view at any given time.

Thanks!

Too freaking simple! Mad | :mad:

Thank you for the direction. I needed to tweak it a bit, but it is perfect! Smile | :)

LRESULT CWinCTestFrame::OnActivate(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)<br />
{<br />
<br />
	if(((HANDLE) wParam == this->m_hWnd) && (IsWindowVisible()))<br />
	   TRACE("ChildFrame - I'm Activated!\n");<br />
	<br />
	return 0L;<br />
}<br />

Hmm... Since you are using MFC, a simpler approach would be as follows:

In your class declaration :

   afx_msg void OnMDIActivate(BOOL bActivate, CWnd* pActivateWnd, CWnd* pDeactivateWnd);

In your class implementation file:

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CWinCTestFrame, [baseClass])
   //{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CWinCTestFrame)
   ON_WM_MDIACTIVATE()
   .
   .
   .
   //}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
 
void CWinCTestFrame::OnMDIActivate(BOOL bActivate, CWnd* pActivateWnd, CWnd* pDeactivateWnd)
{
   CMultiFrame_base::OnMDIActivate(bActivate, pActivateWnd, pDeactivateWnd);
   if (bActivate)
      TRACE("ChildFrame - I'm Activated!\n");();
}

bActivate will be TRUE or FALSE, depending on whether the child is being activated or deactivated, while pActivateWnd and pDeactivateWnd will point to the child being activated or deactivated, respectively.

More details at MSDN[^]

BTW, I don't think the call to IsWindowVisible() in your code is making any difference; 'visible' is not the same as 'active'.

Thanks again! Your suggestion also looks cleaner Smile | :)

and I'll do it the way you suggested.

Jose Lamas Rios wrote:

Yes, that's true, but in my application, when the view becomes 'active' it sends a message to the mainframe to trigger further action (it's a long story Sniff | :^)

). The IsVisible call prevents the childframe from sending that message to the mainframe when the child is being closed.

Once again, thank you for your help and responses! Big Grin | :-D
